I was thinking more along the lines of a coordinated bashing of those damned cheap Porto boats!!!!

With a good wifi connection we can do our bashing while sitting in the cockpit with a cocktail!!

Have you done Death's Door?

Only done Deaths Door on a Ferry boat. Planning to go thru this year with a circumnavigation on the penninsula.
Yes we are in Egg Harbor. Come on up!!! It's a small municipal dock so call well ahead to reserve slip space. (pretty easy during the week)
